Entering Text - Samsung SGH X427 User Manual

Entering Text

When using your phone, you will often need to enter text,
such as when storing a name in Phonebook, creating your
personal greeting or scheduling events on your calendar.
You can enter alphanumeric characters by using your
phone's keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
• T9 mode
This mode allows you to enter words with only one
keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more
than one letter; for example, when you press the
key once, J, K or L displays. The T9 mode automatically
compares your keystrokes with an internal linguistic
dictionary to determine the correct word, thus requiring
far fewer keystrokes than the traditional upper/lower-
case character modes.
• Upper/lower-case character modes
These modes allow you to enter letters by pressing the
key labeled with the letter you want to enter once, twice,
three or four times until the letter displays.
• Symbol mode
This mode allows you to enter symbols, such as
punctuation marks.
• Number mode
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
